TF2 options dialog lists only 2 speakers config #1057

Closed WhiteWind closed 11 years ago

WhiteWind commented 11 years ago

I have 5.1 audio and "Analog Surround 5.1 Output" profile is selected in PulseAudio. But Audio options offers only "2 speakers" and by default nothing is selected. 2013-01-31_00001

I don't know if this has been fixed, but Counter-Strike: Source only shows "2 Speakers" as well, even though I also have headphones plugged in (USB Headset).

It still only shows 2 speaker configuration. The Windows version had a profile for headphones.

This is not only an issue for Source engine based games - GoldSrc games output stereo-only too. However, it seems HL and CS feed some 5.1 audio stream to pulseaudio, but the actual sound is played via a separate stereo stream. As far as I can see, SDL is currently used as the audio backend for all these games. OpenAL support would be nice.
